With this ABS rig, for less than $2,000 you're getting the most powerful graphics card barring the usually overkill RTX 4090, a CPU that's perfectly suitable for gaming, and 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM. It should handle any game you throw on-screen with ease. The only real sacrifice is the 1 TB of storage, but that'll be easy to upgrade down the line. There's little not to love.

We may be in that twilight time betwixt big shopping periods, but that doesn't mean there's nothing of great value on offer right now. This ABS gaming PC, for instance, is cheaper than any RTX 4080 Super builds we saw during this year's October Prime Day.

We're talking faster DDR5 RAM than what comes in most builds this side of $2,000—a whole 32 GB of it, too—and a CPU that, while not as great overall as something like the Core i7 14700K, is still decidedly high-end and very capable for gaming. Oh, and you're getting a 1000 W Gold-rated PSU, which is (again) better than what comes in most sub-$2,000 builds.

What does all this horsepower actually translate to? Well, for starters, you're getting close to flagship gaming performance—again, barring rigs containing the RTX 4090. That means playing pretty much any game at 1440p or 4K with ease, even on max settings. It also means all the many Nvidia bells and whistles such as DLSS and great ray tracing performance.

Jacob got his hands on a gaming PC for the first time when he was about 12 years old. He swiftly realised the local PC repair store had ripped him off with his build and vowed never to let another soul build his rig again. With this vow, Jacob the hardware junkie was born. Since then, Jacob's led a double-life as part-hardware geek, part-philosophy nerd, first working as a Hardware Writer for PCGamesN in 2020, then working towards a PhD in Philosophy for a few years while freelancing on the side for sites such as TechRadar, Pocket-lint, and yours truly, PC Gamer. Eventually, he gave up the ruthless mercenary life to join the world's #1 PC Gaming site full-time. It's definitely not an ego thing, he assures us.
